Except that NaCl dissolves into sodium and chloride ions in water. in any context in which you are actually tasting it, you are not tasting NaCl, you are tasting some combination of Na+ and Cl-, at which point, asking which (if either) is the one driving the experience.
- Traubenfuchs 3y agoI did not know that. What happens if you take out all the Na atoms? Will it become a deadly Cl wash?
- kadoban 3y ago> What happens if you take out all the Na atoms? You can't _just_ take out the Na. You'd have to do some kind of reaction, and then it'd really just depend what you put in instead. The closest thing I can think of to "take out all the Na atoms" would be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process , where yeah you get a lot of Chlorine and lye.
